 I don't know if this is what this is working. Yeah. Yeah, this is working Thanks for coming. I thought it would be important to have an opportunity to see you. I'll be it. I'll be briefly today in view of the latest information we have received last night and Still working on on that today regarding the equipment of the agency in in Iran Basically what we have been informed is that 27 Cameras like this you remember in December we were showing these cameras on a more auspicious time where we were Reinstalling cameras 27 cameras are being removed in in Iran apart from An online and rich in monitoring system That we have over there So this of course poses a serious challenge to our ability to continue working there and to Confirm the correctness of Iran's declaration under JCPO. So We thought just as I announced The set of measures beyond the CSA when this Took place in back in February. I believe 2021 now we are seeing this as being in a certain sense dismantled and of course with with possible consequences So I felt it would be important for me to have an opportunity to confirm this to you I just informed the board of governors about this our inspectors will be Accompanying these activities over the next few hours in different places in Iran And we will take it from there But I'm sure you may have your specific questions on this matter and I am I would be more than happy to answer Yes, Francois. Yes Francois Murphy from Roy to IDG and just first of all just to pin down some of the things that you've just you've just said So you say 27 cameras are what Iran has told you they're going to disconnect or remove remove Remove in the next day is always saying you say well, it will take some time It will that depends on logistics because as you know, these cameras are not that we have in Tehran We have in in S. Fahan. We have in Natanz. We have in Kondab. It's it's a few places where we have them So I don't know this is a logistical matter We they start today they start today, okay And there was apparently you told the board that there was also other monitoring equipment that was going to be removed So what's my online and rich so the okay, and the flow Meter, okay, and so this is is this all the extra monitoring equipment that was installed under the JCPOA beyond the safeguards Basically all there might be something we still there's still some Gray areas we are trying to ascertain. We just caught a very succinct communication from Iran Last night and we are we are trying to go through the through the details But the idea is that whatever was beyond the comprehensive safeguards agreement To be to be removed, but this is the principle we now we have to see how it's operated Okay, yeah Jonathan Tyrone with Bloomberg. Hi, DG Can you tell us how many cameras will remain under the? Info-circ 153. Yeah, perhaps not exactly, but 40 something 40 something and Your characterization of the locations That these will be removed from it was pretty broad as Fahan Natanz for Is it is it is it a sample of all the locations currently a sample of all the locations Where we can you tell us where the cameras are going to be ready for them? Everywhere where the according to the CSA we need to be inspecting so there is this plus a few more Right. Those are the the CSA ones are gonna stay. Where are the ones that are? being removed coming out of Natanz We have some as Fahan. We have some Teran. We have some conduct We have that must remember that these cameras are placed in places that are related to some centrifuge part assembly production R&D without uf6 and Things like this right and sorry just one one one last question. And so does this Categorically end any possibility of you being able to reconstruct this continuity of knowledge Talking point that had been used over the last year You know, you've done a lot of work. Yeah, if you put it like that I would say no, but very close to that very very very close to that I think the window of opportunity is very very very small Hello, I'm Ahmed somebody from Iran International TV I have two questions my question the first question goes to the last night resolutions approval After the resolutions board of governance Resolutions Iranian officials linked this resolution to your trip to Israel I want to know your comment about this reaction Iranian reaction and second is Today sources in Iran announced Iran Iranian official are going to increase production and installation of the R6 IR4 and IR2 mCentrifuges I want to know is the agency is informed about it. And if yes, what's your comment not yet? Well, there are many things that you are asking first of all the resolution is a matter for member states It's a decision that they take they don't do these things because the DG goes and tells them Please put forward a resolution or don't etc. It's typical that there is a lot of speculation about these things And least of all a resolution would be linked to the visit of the director general to another country So I think this is a construction, which is very strange, but anyway, I respect opinions on the on the possible Additional activities we haven't been informed yet We know that there is that there has been for for some time a plan to install a new capacity And to increase installed capacity. So as soon as we are informed we we have to act actually Report these formally to the border governors, and we will do so immediately and and today I will issue a report on this Issue of the removal of the cameras today Thank you Nazafarian Mirza Khalili hello radio free Europe So at your previous press conference on Monday, you mentioned that Iran is very close to reach the Enough material to produce atomic bombs. It's like some weeks or so. So how do you assess the situation? Right now after all this well, you know in terms of the capacities There's nothing that that happened between Monday and today that that would affect that that quantitative Assessment what we are seeing is that the Because of the decision that has it's been announced to us today is is a decrease of the visibility That the agency is going to have About what's happening in Iran, of course that this is something I deplore You've spoken your introduction about consequences to what just happened. Can you elaborate more? What kind of consequences do you mean and can I just confirm one last time? How many cameras still exist in Iran for the IAEA under the JCPO? Well, as I told Mr. Taran, it's more than 40 around around So in terms of consequences, I don't know exactly what what you are what you mean what I what I Think is that what what we see is that we are in a very tense situation with with the Negotiations on the revival of the JCPOA at a low up if I can put it like that with our bilateral Process with Iran on the clarification of a number of outstanding issues not being Successful so far Now we are adding this To the to the picture. So as you can see, it's not a very nice one you know my obligation is to persevere to continue to continue proposing solutions and to continue to propose that we work together with Iran But quite clearly and it's not one of those good days. It's not That's going lucky in a phone television I Have two questions. One is a technical one. Can you explain a little bit more about the online enrichment? Monitor and another fuel Monitor that's question number one and number one and number two is that you in Monday's press conference you or you told us that the you know, it's very close That Iran is going to from the quantity wise it go over the threshold and you added that it is even more so necessary that IAEA give you an access and What's happening right now is completely the opposite. Well, it's goes in the in the in the opposite direction What we are trying to is to bring more clarity to bring more clarification Verification at a moment where where this is this is needed as it was mentioned as now They are plans to increase production to increase volume of production to have more installed capacity so we believe that this runs contrary to the idea of providing more more more mutual Confidence we'll see I think my intention as I said in my report and I hope Just said to the board that I am ready to And I invited Iran to engage with me immediately to try to look at what we can do together in order to prevent a situation where we will be Even further apart, which is something that will be very very bad on the technical parts these are systems that we had in addition which are important to to verify the the Amounts of a rich the uranium uranium. It's Added technical, you know apart from cameras. We have other ways apart from the physical you have the physical Inspections you have the cameras, but you also have systems that can identify the the flows for example of liquids or the amount of enriched material and can Send this information online to us. So it's it's you know added systems the data transmission systems that the agency has to complete the the full picture Sorry digi and You said that the there's a short or very short window of opportunity. Yeah, essentially if I understand you correctly to Maintain a chance of restoring continuity of knowledge. Yeah, apparently you told the board that it's a period of three to four weeks Yes and What happens after that then what where does that what would if you went beyond that period? How where would that leave you in terms of how you would be able to describe your Well, if if we were in that in that at that moment in that position if there was Return to the to the JCPOA or an attempt to return to the JCPOA now or in the future The agency would not be able to to give a service to the to the parties in terms of telling telling them What the baseline is where they are Where they are so it can be whatever So unless the agency can't say this is where these are the quantities These are the volumes and from here you can determine what you want to reduce how we can verify that when we lose this Well, then it's anybody's guess and then just more specifically Have do you know what's going to happen to the data that's been collected over the past more than a year and is still with Iran now Not clear You said that the camera some of the cameras that were removed were from places that used to monitor where centrifuges were Were being made so now do you think that Iran can make new centrifuges without? I really been able to verify that and without knowing yes, and what would be the consequences for that? less transparency More doubt uncertainty Okay, and are you talking to the Iranians asking for another trip to Tehran is that a plan well I hope I really hope that we can do this. I think we need to do this We we had a process we had agreed on a process the process did not Produce the results that we were hoping it would so nobody should be people are in especially in Iran Some people are very angry because I'm saying this but this is the truth the reality is that we were not able to come to a Successful outcome. There was no clarification. So Does this mean that this is the end of the line I think it shouldn't be the case Not yet, you don't you don't have enough yet. I hope to have one soon I Know I haven't I haven't will not you will not you know I as I always say, you know, I don't make this an issue of pride who asks I'm always ready You're the DJ is at the service of member states. So I'm always ready I hope on a plane I go if they want to see me they don't want to see me then then there is another Another problem, but let's hope that emotions You know go down a little bit and that we focus again on the problems because the problems are not disappearing and If we add to the problems less visibility less access to the agency Then I don't think we are solving anything. We are aggravating everything That's my impression Just briefly going back to the continuity of knowledge you discussed just now the baseline and how you'd be able to Verify against the baseline, but surely you could establish a new baseline so what you're really saying is if this three or four weeks go by go by and There is no JCP away, but a JCP away is agreed in two months from now you'd have to Create a new baseline Well, that's that's a lot of speculation Well, I'm just asking you that were to happen when we when we say three four months Yeah weeks, sorry weeks is because we know that the the production capacities We know the systems. We know the facilities. We can have some projections So when when my my experts tell me well these are beyond this we cannot really know So if you were to have a situation where you could revive the JCP a later on Then you would have to see Look look at the declarations go compare do a thorough Review of the whole thing and see whatever is but that's what you do here, isn't it? Is that that's that that's what you do? So the agency's services would not be available to the partner to the parties of the JCP away after four weeks We wouldn't be able to give them the accuracy that they require So that so the JCP way is dead if it's not done within the next four weeks. This will be a fatal blow. Okay Thank you very much And we see each other soon. I hope thank you. Have a nice day. Bye. Bye
